Mambo's Best tracks of 2023

The end of 2023 is upon us and that means two things: 1. We’re excited as we look forward to a fresh new year and all the beach time, parties and memories that it’s guaranteed to bring. 2. We can’t help but look back on one of the best years to date at Café Mambo, where the sun shone brightly, the crowds brought more energy than ever, and the world’s best superstar DJs all contributed to a vibe like no other on our beloved Sunset Strip. Once again, Ibiza proved that it’s the party capital of the world, and we feel more privileged than ever that we were there to witness it. Every. Single. Night!

In fact, this summer saw DJs deliver a sackful of top quality music to Ibiza’s dance floors so to round out the year, we sat down with legendary Mambo resident Ryan McDermott to look back on his pick of the season’s biggest bangers. From Jamie Jones and Claptone to Denis Sulta, Wampa and Soul Avengerz, join us on a trip down summer 2023 memory lane as we relive the collective best nights of our lives and a summer that will no doubt go on to shape us.

Best enjoyed while finishing off the last of the Christmas Baileys in the run up to New Year celebrations, you can listen to Ryan’s personal countdown on this month’s Mambo podcast. But to get you in the mood, here’s a little teaser of some of his top tunes:
